Analog inputs (single-ended)
The EP3182-1002 EtherCAT Box has two analog inputs which can be individually parameterized, so that
they process signals either in the -10V to +10V range or the 0/4mA…20mA range.
The voltage or input current is digitized with a resolution of 16bits, and is transmitted (electrically isolated) to
the higher-level automation device.
The two input channels are single-ended and share a common internal ground potential. The input filter and
therefore the conversion times are configurable in a wide range.
The inputs can, if required, be scaled differently, and automatic limit value monitoring is also available.
EtherCAT is used for parameterization purposes. The parameters are stored in the module.
Digital outputs
In addition, the EP3182-1002 EtherCAT Box has two digital outputs via which it forwards the binary control
signals from the controller to the actuators at the process level.
These two outputs (sink/source type) are intended for the switching of logic inputs or outputs with a minimum
impedance of 10kOhm (e.g. reset inputs of digital sensors) and can process currents up to 2mA. They
indicate their signal state by LEDs and are short-circuit proof.
The signals are also connected via the two M12 connectors.
